I really like the color of this, I've never seen anything like this before. Is a beautiful shimmery mix of peach, gold and something else that I really like on me. The darker side is not too evident on me but I think it could be a little bit stronger on paler complexions. I find the shimmer just a little bit too much for my tastes.
Don't get me wrong, this is not too glittery or too obvious. But, compared to my beloved Mary Lou Manizer, is definitely stronger even if I apply just a little bit.
For this reason I love it for a night out, when I use it to highlight my cheekbones, but I wouldn't wear this on a daily basis. As always this kind of thing is really different for each of use so, if you can, try it at a MAC counter before buying it.
Applying this is really easy, and if I say so you know it's REALLY easy, it's not dusty at all and is nicely pigmented. It lasts aaall night long on my face which is another good thing.
Is it worth the hype? I don't think so: I like it, but I really prefer my The Balm highlighter.
Did you try this? What's your opinion?

A lot of the Mineralize Skinfinish products are too frosty for my taste! Too bad, the colors are always nice; I wonder if you could load up your brush with translucent powder and then run it across this lightly (or vice versa) to get just a bit of this product on there and cut down on the shimmer? That's probably too much work and might look silly! Sorry you aren't happy with this product!
